AN OPEN-SOURCE, DATA-LOGGING DEVICE FOR MARINE-BASED SURVEYS [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2023 Observation, monitoring, and understanding of the marine environment, particularly seafloor mapping, have gained global attention. Underwater photogrammetry is a valuable technique for creating accurate seafloor orthomosaics and digital elevation models (

Beyond bathymetry: Mapping acoustic backscattering from the deep seafloor with Sea Beam [PDF]
, 1986 In its standard mode of operation, the multibeam echosounder Sea Beam produces high resolution bathymetric contour charts of the seafloor surveyed. However, additional information about the nature of the seafloor can be extracted from the structure of ...

Seafloor margin map helps in understanding subduction earthquakes [PDF]
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2005 Ecuador and southwest (SW) Colombia suffered widespread damage during the twentieth century as a result of some of the greatest subduction earthquakes and associated tsunamis ever recorded. In 1906, the Ecuador‐SW Columbia margin, located at the transition between the continent and deep ocean, ruptured over a 500‐kilometer length as a single great (Mw =

Multispectral Multibeam Echo Sounder Backscatter as a Tool for Improved Seafloor Characterization
Geosciences, 2019 The establishment of multibeam echosounders (MBES), as a mainstream tool in ocean mapping, has facilitated integrative approaches towards nautical charting, benthic habitat mapping, and seafloor geotechnical surveys. The combined acoustic response of the
